See how Global Finishing Solutions® (GFS) products have played a key role in the success of automotive body shops, collision repair centers, manufacturing facilities, wood finishing shops, military and MSO facilities have learned how to benefit from our products and services.
Two years ago, Eric Gutknecht took the plunge and opened his own body shop, Eric’s Auto Body. Lacking the top-of-the-line equipment needed to make a dent in his competition, Eric invested in new GFS equipment to set his shop up for success.
New finishing equipment from GFS was so efficient, it alleviated Sleepy Hollow Auto Group’s bottlenecks and propelled the Wisconsin shop on the fast track to prosperity.
Three Ultra XD Paint Booths and two Ultra XD Mix Rooms from GFS will be part of a new 140,000-square-foot facility at Classic Car Motoring, a family-owned business that has been COVID-19 survivor Jeff Baggett’s passion for more than 40 years.
When Dan Morrow started his company at 24 years old, he never imagined the growth and success that would come throughout the past 18 years. Recently, Morrow Collision Center opened a 2nd location in February 2020, five times the size of the original location, which gave them more room for equipment.
Upgrading his existing GFS equipment, General Manager, Dennis Auld, decided to enclose his Closed-Top Open-Front (CTOF) Booth to increase finish quality and decrease energy costs.
The Abra Brainerd body shop layout is the quintessential shop floor layout for dealerships looking to maximize efficiency. Their body shop features a GFS Side-Load Finishing System, complete with an Ultra XD Paint Booth, dual-bay Ultra XD CTOF Booth and a REVO Speed unit that can be easily positioned and moved between bays.

For their new body shop, Olson Tire & Auto Service added a custom Side-Load Finishing System from Global Finishing Solutions (GFS), complete with an Ultra XD Paint Booth, dual-bay Ultra XD CTOF, Aluminum Repair Station and Ultra XD Paint Mix Room. GFS and Chassis Liner Supply collaborated to provide a product with the performance that the customer expected.
It has been 15 years since husband and wife team, Robert and Jane Dehnel, bought Taylor Body Shop in Merrill, Wisconsin. Since then, the family-owned and operated auto body shop has rebranded as One Way Collision Center, relocated to a brand new building nearly twice the size of their original facility and expanded their line of finishing equipment.
